I have been trying to install 2.0 on a Umax S900. I can get into the =
open firmware but it seems that it puts a black column between each =
column of the open firmware screen. I try to boot from a floppy, =
thinking that it may resolve it self when it enters into NetBSD but =
there is a default catch and I can't read the error to see what is =
wrong. I am using a IMS Twin Turbo graphics card, which is the standard =
for this machine. I have tried changing the number of rows and columns, =
but I still get the same effect, I also get the same problem when using =
either the VGA or Mac monitor connectors on the card. The screen is =
stable, so i don't think it is a snycing problem.

Has anyone had the same problem, with this machine or any other machine? =
Any ideas of how to fix it?


Thanks
